The gripping top ten Sunday Times bestselling thriller from Jeffery Deaver – featuring enigmatic investigator Colter Shaw

Say goodbye to your problems
In pursuit of two armed fugitives in the wilderness of Washington State, unique investigator Colter Shaw witnesses a shocking suicide. This leads him to the Foundation – a cult that promises to transform people’s lives. But is there more to it than meets the eye?

Say goodbye to your freedom
Shaw goes undercover to expose the Foundation’s real purpose. Before long he meets the charismatic leader Master Eli, a man who commands terrifying loyalty from his followers.

Say goodbye to your life
Something truly dark is going on beneath the surface of the idyllic community. And as Shaw peels back the layers of truth, he begins to see there is only one way to escape the Foundation … and the price for that freedom might well be your very life.

Most relevant

Overall an excellent story, well paced and appealing characters. I struggled a bit with the narcissist villain, whose phraseology seemed strangely familiar. It was hard to believe that people slavishly followed the villain,, but maybe that’s because I am not American.

So was this book a crime thriller, or a political satire?

Credible narcissist?
